octavion is a very closed off person. he has been
closed up ever since his sister passed away in a car
accident because of a "careless" driver. he is normally
very cold and blunt, he doesn't care for small talk and
prefers to just get to the point already. he blocks off
his feelings, leaving him seemingly emotionless to
others. he is protective of those he cares for, but at
the moment, there is no one but himself and his dog.

Westley had woke up long after her father left for work- she wasn't one for getting up early. She could hear her younger brother moving around the house, presumably preparing breakfast for himself. She sighed and groggily sat up, short hair hanging in her eyes. Annoyed, she shoved it back with one hand, then pulled herself from the warmth of her bed, trekking to the adjoining bathroom.
There, she quickly went through her morning rituals, putting on a light layer of makeup and changing into a casual pair of cargo pants and a t-shirt. Still looking like she wasn't fully awake, the girl made her way down the step, feet thumping against the carpet. Her brother's soft, dreamy-looking eyes met hers and he gave her a gentle smile.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, turning his gaze back to whatever he was stirring on the stove. She walked up behind him and squeezed his shoulders. He was so vulnerable, so innocent- despite his age of eighteen.

"I did. What are you making, Jakie?"

He glanced back, lips twitching in a smile again. "Oatmeal. It's almost done. Want some?"

She sighed, stepping back. "You know I don't have time. The boss wants me in bright and early."

Jacob nodded, eyes clouding over slightly. "It's too bad you can't join me for breakfast."

Westley nodded wistfully, palming her car keys. "I know.Just be patient, tomorrow's the weekend and we can spend all day together." She reached out and ruffled his hair, giving him a mischievous smirk before leaving out the door.

octavian had been up for quite some time now. the male had visions plaguing his dreams that he didn't care too well for, so he never seemed to get much sleep. currently, he had just finished his daily workout, the sweat dripping from his face and soaking his shirt. tugging the damp clothes off, the male stepped into the shower, letting the warm water cascade down his already warm skin. today was the day. today started his revenge. the man took his sister and got away with it? well, he was going to take his daughter and get away with it. he already had plane tickets and a way out of the country. he knew where the daughter worked, as stalkerish as that seemed. revenge was all his mind seemed to be set on, and he would do anything to ease the pain of his sister's loss.even if it meant playing dirty. he needed to avenge his sister. she didn't deserve the death she was given. checking the time,the man exhaled and exited the shower, drying off and dressing up. he then grabbed his keys and exited the empty apartment without a word, hands shoving themselves into pockets as the man made his way down the street and towards this girl's job.

Westley drove the short distance to her workplace, a popular restaurant in the nice part of town. Humming along quietly to Ode to Sleep by Twenty One Pilots, she parked and opened the car door, then slammed it shut and made her way inside. One of her fellow employees, making her way towards a table with a tray in her hands, backtracked and glared at the girl. "You're late."

Westley shrugged offhandedly. "By five minutes."

The other woman huffed. "Whatever. Go park in the employee lot, you're in the customers' spots again. And take out those earbuds, it presents a bad image."

Rolling her eyes and letting out a soft sigh, Westley followed orders, though she kept the earbuds in. She'd take them out when she came back in- she hadn't reached her favourite part of the song yet. She made her way back outside and started the car back up, driving to the more hidden parking lot behind the building. There, she parked and got out once again, pulling out her phone to check for messages from Jakie. None- that must mean he was okay. Her lips compressed. She needed to stop worrying about him- he was an adult, and their mother was dead- the woman wouldn't be a problem to either of them anymore. Still, he was her little brother, and nearly the only person she cared about. She'd become a sort of a second mom to him, and she would not let her duties slide.

octavian headed to the little place that the girl worked out. it was a restaurant that also served breakfast, which made sense as to why it was open so early in the morning. entering the place, his eyes scanned the interior, a soft hum escaping his lips.she had to be here..right? as an employee approached him, he held up one finger, indicating he was here alone. octavian never really cared what people thought of that, the whole "lonely" eating by yourself thing. he actually quite enjoyed it, it was peaceful and he wasn't forced to have any conversation with anyone. shaking the thoughts that plagued his head away, he followed the employee to his seat, nodding his thanks before skimming the menu, eyes casually scanning around every now and then to see if the girl was here.perhaps she was late to work? the restaurant was fairly empty still, with the occasional quiet chatter from everyone, so he wouldn't be surprised if the girl hadn't arrived to work, yet. now, it was just a waiting game. but why not add some eggs and bacon into it? he was here already, it'd be a waste of a trip not to. of course, he just needed to wait until the girl got off her shift to take her.

After Westley finished up outside, she headed back in, just in time to see an attractive young man sit down at a table.
She huffed, knowing she would be assigned to him. Sure enough, her coworker pointed her in that direction, a frown on her lips when she saw that the girl's earbuds were still in. Not wanting to get fired, West pulled them out and stuffed them in her pocket, where her phone and car keys were. Then she gathered up a menu, notepad and pen under her arm and made her way to his table, dodging a stream of children on their way to the bathrooms. When she reached the table, she plastered on a bright smile, plopping the menu down on the table and poising with her pen above the notepad.

"Hello, sir," she greeted, fake tone cheery and welcoming. "Can I start you off with a drink while you look over the menu?"

[moonlessnight.]

octavian leaned back in his seat, clasping his hands together. as he saw the female approaching, his head tilted to the side as he observed the fake cheeriness. "i'll have a water with lemon, please." the man responded. sure, he was a grump, but he was a polite grump. or at least he liked to believe so. passing a hand through his hair, a sigh escaped the man's lips and he forced a smile onto his lips, directed to the female. hey, why not at least try to make her not get some weird vibe from him, no?

[avior.]

Westley nodded absently, scribbling the order down in her messy handwriting. Then she gave him another pasted smile. She had just gotten here and she already couldn't wait for her shift to end. That was one of the few upsides to her job, though- her first shift only lasted two hours, then she was off until her long shift in the evening. "Alright, I'll be back with that in a moment," she replied, tone formal but friendly. She turned to leave, an annoyed huff escaping her lips. The place was stuffy and overcrowded, the air conditioning struggling to keep up. She could feel sweat forming already. She'd have to take a short escape as soon as possible, even if it was just to the staff bathrooms.
